8/20/11 IF THE BEAR IS SMARTER THAN THE MAN

MONTAIN ASH BERRIES

APPLES GETTING LARGER

CHESTNUTS SWELLING

COMING UP EMPTY

Saturday, 8:30 AM.  60 degees, wind W, calm.  The sky is clear and the barometer is way up. It feels like early fall.
    Signs of fall are everywhere now, mountain ash fruit ripening, apples obvious on the trees, spiney American chestnut fruit obvious among the big long leaves.
    It’s a lot harder to catch a bear than one might think.  Especially if the bear is smarter than the hummans.
